INTERCAL, programming language parody, is the canonical esoteric programming language created by Don Woods and James Lyon, two Princeton University students, in 1972. It satirizes aspects of the FORTRAN and COBOL programming languages, as well as the proliferation of proposed language constructs and notations in the 1960s. Consequently, the humour may appear rather dated to modern readers brought up with C or Java.
The current version, C-INTERCAL, is maintained by Eric S. Raymond. INTERCAL is said by the original authors to stand for "Compiler Language With No Pronounceable Acronym".
INTERCAL is purposely different from all other computer languages. Common operations in other languages have cryptic and redundant syntax in INTERCAL. From the INTERCAL Reference Manual:

Why am I using python for a deeply bit-twiddly application, again? Oh, right, management vetoed INTERCAL.
